Reduce Photo Size for Portal Upload
Government portals, HR systems, school sites, and admin dashboards often reject large photos. A smaller file is usually all you need to complete the upload.
Quick answer
To reduce photo size for a portal upload, open the Compress Image tool, upload the photo, create a smaller version, and retry the upload. If the portal still rejects it, resize the image to smaller dimensions too. The work runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.
